The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2077

"Zara, what do you want this time?"

Zara looked a little hurt. "McCoy, I know I was wrong... And you saw the security footage. You know I didn't push Aurora on purpose.

Besides, I've already paid the price for my mistake. Can't you just give me one more chance?"

McCoy's face was ice-cold. "Zara, I've given you plenty of chances. Get out now, before I have you thrown out."

A wounded expression crossed Zara's face, but she reached into her bag and pulled out a document.

"McCoy, I know it's my fault Aurora can never have children again.

Because of me, you'll never have a biological child of your own.

So, to make up for my mistake, I willingly decided to give you an heir to continue the Chapman bloodline."

With that, Zara stepped forward and handed the document to Mr. and Mrs. Chapman.

She said softly, "Mr. and Mrs. Chapman, this is a paternity test. I'm three months pregnant."

McCoy roared in fury. "Bullshit! I never touched you! How could you be pregnant?!"

McCoy was the head of his family, after all. Someone with Zara's intellect and tactics could never successfully trap him.

Zara admitted honestly, "That's right. McCoy and I never slept together. He didn't cheat.

But science is so advanced now. Even without sleeping together, we can use technology.

This child is from IVF."

McCoy's face drained of color.

To prevent accidents, many heirs from elite families froze their genetic material when they came of age.

McCoy had done exactly that.

He stared at Zara in absolute shock. "How... how did you..."

Zara replied, "If you don't believe me, we can do another paternity test.

Of course..."

She paused, looking as if she were about to burst into tears.

But Zara's baby wasn't the product of an affair. It perfectly bypassed the clauses in the agreement.

The faces of the Williams family members, including Aurora, turned incredibly grim.

They had been completely outplayed by a loophole.

Stella watched the scene unfold in silence, her expression unreadable.

She had given the fake heiress one percent of her shares as a form of compensation for dragging her into this game—and as leverage for her future battle against the real heiress.

The moment the Williams and Chapman families discovered Shay wasn't blood, they would undoubtedly reclaim the shares.

Once Zara gave birth, the situation within the Chapman family would become infinitely more complicated.

Whether Shay could hold onto her status would depend entirely on her own abilities.

Just then, Stella felt a piercing gaze lock onto her.

She shifted her eyes and saw Joshua Gardner looking at her with a gentle smile, a hint of knowing amusement dancing in his eyes.
